Mr Sidney Holt and family who live
near Esto Russell county are satisfied
that they entertained a bear one night
last week
The hall door leading to an upstairs
room was left open unintentionally
Some time during the night a bear Mr
Holt and family declaring that there
can be no mistake about it visited the
premises
It entered the haIl and passed up stairway and went into a vacant room at the head of the steps In
the room was a bed a number of pic-¬
tures hanging on the walls and also a
dress belonging toMrs Holt During
the night Mr Holt heard noise in the
room but he supposed it was made by
one of his boys or a workhand who had
come in to retire Such however was
not the case The bear or whateverit was left the room about 4 oclock in
the morning as it was heard going out
When daylight came Mr Holt went to
the room to discover all the pictures
torn from the walls and the prints of
bear claws could be plainly seen Mrs
Holts dress was also torn into strings
Turning to the bed it showed plainly
that it had been slept on and there
were bear hairs on the bedclothing
The intruder had been gone several
hours when Mr Holt got up and hay- ¬
ing no dogs he made no effort to track
it but he is fully convinced that he en- ¬
tertained a bear
We understand that bears are known
to be in the hills of Cumberland county
and it is believed that this one came
from that section

will be gratifying to his many
friends to know that Dr E A Wagj
gener who came to Columbia about
ten months ago to make this place his
permanent home was last week by
the un inimous vote of the State Board
of Health granted a certificate to prac
tice his profession throughout KentuckyIt is knows that Dr Waggener is
an eminently qualified surgeon and phy
siciah but having been living in the
West for a good many years it was
necessary for him to have his diplomas
examined by the State Board he having
graduated from the University of
Louisville Bellview College New York
City Prof Loomes Clinical School of
Belleview Hospital
He had also taken
two postgraduate courses
he had all
these documents of qualifications he
was compelled to wait all these months
for the Board to act However he
wanted to comply to the laws govern
ing the organization and he is perfect
ly satisfied with the result His old
friend Dr U Montgomery a native
of Adair county but who practices in
Louisville accompanied Dr Waggener
before the Board and his statement
and the papers presented were all that
was necessary Dr Waggener considers that the Board passed a high compliment uponhim when it voted unanimously to grant him a certificate of
qualification
Dr Waggener has been
